Steward Comment

Rider questioned re tactics early stages - explained instructed to ride the horse with a sit today as UPSTART PRIDE and ROCKY KING were natural leaders and the gelding would not have enough speed to go with those horses. Added he rode mount in a similar manner to when it won last start. Further added in his opinion the gelding did not travel as comfortably today as it had at its most recent start. Stewards noted explanation.

Steward Comment

Rider questioned re decision to allow UPSTART PRIDE to cross her mount near 1000m and obtain the lead - explained when UPSTART PRIDE improved to her outside she was of the view that horse had superior speed to ROCKY KING and to maintain the lead she would have had to make too much use of her horse, which in her view would have been detrimental to its chances. Stewards noted explanation.
